How am I not being nice about it? I simply said what 99% of frequent posters in this forum think, in a way that wasn't condescending. The closest person who has inside information is Sam Smith, and that's it. And 90% of the time, he has no clue what is going on. You know it, and I know it.

Sam Smith is the only guy with Bulls information? Are you being serious here? So many people hear things. Sam Smith is a good guy, has gotten a lot of hate in the past, but all he was doing was expressing his opinion and reportedly what he knows.

Read the post again. I said the closest person with insider info is Sam Smith. Nobody has inside information about the Bulls man. That includes you.

I did read the post. You said:The closest person who has inside information is Sam Smith, and that's it.

I'm just trying to understand why you recognize just Sam Smith. Sam Smith is a good guy but it's the way you said it. Bulls are one of the most private teams especially after the Deng/Kobe incident, but there are multiple sources who have reported what they heard.

Probably because the Bulls are a historically tight-lipped organization and Sam Smith is about the closest thing to a Bulls "insider" there is. There's a reason no one ever reports about Bulls trades before they happen. It's because the organization doesn't let stuff out.

Because Sam Smith has worked for the organization and at least has ties to the organization. That's why. You have nothing, just like everybody else. And that includes Sam Smith because that bloke doesn't know what he's talking about the majority of the time.

One thing I'll correct here:

Not going to name names here but someone this summer reported the Kyle Korver Trade 3 to 5 days before it happened. This isn't the first time this has happened.

Yeah, it was in the Sun Times about four days before it happens, and it was that the Bulls were considering trading him after it was pretty clear his option was not going to be exercised. No one ever sees the big moves coming with this organization, and there's a reason. There are no real Bulls insiders.

Was the Tribune that broke the story. They knew specifically the trade well before it was actually announced though. Everyone thought the deal was actually "pending" but it wasn't even done yet, just announced well before it was completed.

Another thing I'll correct here:

Well the real reason is the Bulls rarely ever make big moves but I agree with what you're saying.

I know they tried trading Deng during this year's draft, but what about moving in the Top 5 of the 2013 draft by packaging Deng, Bobcats Pick, & Bulls 2013 Pick and select one of Muhammad or Poythress.

Shabazz is kind of playing like *** right now. I think our magical year is going to be 2014. We're all just going to have to sit tight until then (unless a certain PF becomes available via trade in the meantime).
